In love with all things in the air: kites, frisbees, sails, kites, airplanes, butterflies and astronomy. Life long interest in photography. Grew up on film and working in the dark rooms and have transitioned to digital photography. Dabble with programming and instrumentation. Current focus is Kite Aerial Photography and sailing kayaks!
